 <\/span>            The Ramayana is one of the world\u2019s oldest and most highly regarded classics of Indian literature. It tells the spiritual adventures of Lord Rama and His wife Sita and brother Lakshmana as They battle the mighty demon Ravana. But it is not only an emotional thriller, but it is also a book filled with ancient wisdom that is as valid today as in olden times. And this introduction to the Ramayana uses numerous verses from it to give direct examples of what it has to offer.<\/span><\/font> <\/font> <\/div>\n
            Some of what you will find includes:<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            A summary of the Ramayana, which shows why it has kept its popularity for thousands of years. <\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            The Ramayana on the need for a proper ruler, and how to recognize such a person, and the results of when a country has no qualified leader. <\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            How Lord Rama is described as the same as Lord Vishnu, which enlivens all Rama devotees.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            How the Ramayana can uplift anyone from the troubles of human existence.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            Lord Rama: fact or fiction, and the evidence that shows Him as an historical person and when He actually existed.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            Descriptions of the sites associated with the Ramayana found in India and in Sri Lanka, and how you can see them.  <\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
            This introduction is a key to understanding the many levels of knowledge and wisdom the Ramayana provides and how to experience it, and gives evidence that shows the reality of its history and spiritual power. This book is a short read, written in a way anyone can understand.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
